It is the first study to investigate the risk of transitioning to incident chronic opioid use among patients with noncancer pain. The findings are published in the journal “American Health & Drug Benefits.”

Over the past 20 years, opioids have been widely prescribed for noncancer pain at Faggressive rates. But opioid use has been associated with serious consequences, ranging from missed work to loss of employment to drug overdose and death.

WVU’s research can predict future risk that can aid clinicians’ decision-making, influence payers and policy makers and assist with prescriber education and prescription monitoring programs.

The findings suggest that an individual’s transition to chronic opioid therapy can be predicted by information such as the opioid’s duration of action, types of parent opioid compounds, a patient’s history of drug-use disorder and a patient’s medical conditions associated with pain—all characteristics easily available in a clinical setting.

Researchers defined opioid therapy to be “chronic” if it involved at least a 90-day supply of an opioid prescribed within four months of an initial, short-term opioid regimen.

Researchers found that patients were more likely to begin chronic opioid therapy if their initial, short-term prescription was for a long-lasting formulation, instead of an immediate-release one. Being prescribed tramadol was another risk factor.

Patients with conditions very likely to cause chronic pain, such as recovery from a trauma or surgery, also tended to take opioids chronically, as did patients who had preexisting issues with drug misuse and dependence.

Knowing what factors often lead to chronic opioid therapy could inform what doctors prescribe to certain patients, under which circumstances. It could also influence how doctors monitor patients during follow-up appointments. These choices may be especially important since chronic opioid use increases a patient’s risk for opioid addiction, among other health problems.

The study centered on a review of medical and pharmaceutical insurance claims submitted by approximately 500,000 patients. The researchers used predictive models that took into account patients’ physical and mental health, their pain conditions, additional medications they took and other variables. All of the patients in the study were working-age adults, were enrolled in a commercial health plan, did not have cancer and began opioid therapy between January 2007 and May 2015.

“The opioid crisis has had a tremendous effect on our economy, and working to combat opioid abuse should be a top economic development priority,” said John Deskins, WVU’s chief economist and director of the WVU Bureau of Business and Economic Research. Deskins’ own research has suggested that West Virginia’s opioid crisis has cost the state nearly $1 billion.

“This new research from WVU to better predict characteristics associated with long-term opioid abuse is an important step in helping to combat this crisis in a preventive way, and in a more cost-effective way,” he said. “In turn, this is an important step for economic development in our state.”

Dwibedi and her colleagues are planning to pursue a new research project that will measure the lost productivity caused by opioid use and misuse in West Virginia and across the nation. She also plans to investigate how nearing and reaching retirement age affects patients’ chronic use of opioids and the impact of it on healthcare use and expenditures.

“Let me tell you: when a physician prescribes medications, if he or she doesn’t know what can cause that patient to be addicted in the future, then the physician has no control to prevent future misuse or abuse. This should be the first step to prevent the opioid epidemic,” Dwibedi said. “The prevention should start from patient and physician.”

The research team included Dwibedi’s former graduate student J. Douglas Thornton, now an assistant professor at the University of Houston College of Pharmacy; WVU School of Pharmacy professors Virginia Scott, Usha Sambamoorthi and Charles Ponte; Nethra Sambamoorthi, a predictive analytic expert from Northwestern University; and Doulas Ziedonis, a psychiatrist and the associate vice chancellor for health sciences at the University of California San Diego.

Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on the firing of Roseanne Barr from ABC-TV:

Roseanne Barr has been making vile comments for years, so why—all of a sudden—has she crossed the line? In 1990, when she grabbed her crotch, spit on the ground, and gave a screeching rendition of our national anthem at a baseball game, the cultural elites who now hate her were fine with her stunt. It’s not America bashing they despise—it’s racism.

Deep brain stimulation has been used to treat Parkinson’s disease symptoms for 25 years, but limitations have led researchers to look for ways to improve the technique. This study describes the first fully implanted DBS system that uses feedback from the brain itself to fine-tune its signaling. The study was supported by the National Institutes of Health’s Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Technologies (BRAIN) Initiative and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS).

“The novel approach taken in this small-scale feasibility study may be an important first step in developing a more refined or personalized way for doctors to reduce the problems patients with Parkinson’s disease face every day,” said Nick B. Langhals, Ph.D., program director at NINDS and team lead for the BRAIN Initiative.

It’s hard to overstate the magnitude of the nation’s opioid crisis, which claims more than 100 lives each day due to overdoses. The impact of opioids radiates beyond the direct users, however, as secondary exposure to drugs can harm first responders such as police officers, firefighters, and even working dogs, which can use their perceptive noses to find illicit drugs.

(CNBNewsnet)(May 30,2018)--There’s always been something very special about Mexico, which is why it’s remained a top choice for travelers from every corner of the globe. As a holiday destination, it offers a little something for everyone, and whether you’re a party animal looking for the ultimate in hedonism or a culture vulture looking to explore some Mayan ruins, Mexico offers it all. From traveling on a shoestring budget to those with a more socialite agenda, it may be time to look a little bit closer at the range of possibilities that Mexico has to offer for all bank balances.

Time your holiday

There’s a good chance that you’ve got the whole travel timings down already, but you might be amazed at the sheer number of people who accidentally book during school breaks or seasonal holidays. That’s why it’s vital that you do some research and look for the best times to visit Mexico. If you can get the timings right, then you may find that your flight costs are considerably less, and all because of a few days alteration to your schedule. Even the day that you book your flight on can drastically reduce the price, so always check out some of your key criteria when it comes to finding the best prices. For Mexico, one of the best times to travel is between April and December, giving you a huge window to take advantage of.

BROOKLAWN, NJ (CNBNewsnet)—The Alice Costello Elementary School (ACES) was one of this year’s winners of the Philadelphia Phillies Phanatic About Reading program. The Phillie Phanatic is the star of children's books and as a result has turned his love of reading into the exciting Phanatic About Reading program presented by Comcast.
Studies have shown that children who are encouraged to read items of their own choosing tend to spend more time reading independently, and as a result, their literacy scores improve. Founded in 2004, the program encourages students to read for a minimum of 15 minutes a day to improve their literacy skills. Each year teachers in the South Jersey and Philadelphia area are encouraged to enroll their classrooms and join the nearly 40,000 students already reading with the Phanatic!

The Gloucester City Breakfast Club had a huge turnout for their December 29 meeting held at the Dining Car Depot, Monmouth Street at the Railroad. Some thirty-nine men were in attendance.
Hank Miller won the prize for coming the longest distance.Breakfast_club_december_07_003 The former Gloucester resident, who writes the column When East Meets West for ClearysNoteBook, flew in from his home in Kitakyushu City, Japan just for the breakfast.
Winning second place was former Gloucesterite Jack Bowe, who traveled from St. Louis Missouri to see his friends. Third was Bill Wibby Yeager who drove from Dover, Delaware. Fourth and Fifth Place goes to Butch Shaffer (Cape May) and Ron Raube (Mays Landing). The winners each received a second cup of coffee at no charge plus all the water they could drink.
El Presidente Chas Pitzo announced that Bill Cleary has resigned as treasurer and Jack Heiser volunteered to take his place. Pitzo gave a treasury report stating there was $400 in the account.
Speaking of Cleary he was the winner of the 50-50 this month. Since he was chosen to pick the stub out of the bucket some members thought he shouldn't be eligible to Breakfast_club_december_07_006 win. The executive board held an emergency meeting and ruled he could keep the prize ($19.02) as long as he picked up the tab for everyone's breakfast. Needless to say when it came time to pay the check Cleary was no where to be found.
Besides those already mentioned others in attendance included: Sam Chew, Frank Grandizio, Tom and Bud Wrigley, John Lang, Joe Boulden, Bob Bevan, Frank Cipolone, Bob Sliwa, Jack Persichetti, Ron Middleton, Joe DiGiacomo, Earl Kaighn, Walt Hall, Stu Rechard, Tom Moody.

The next meeting, Saturday, January 26 at 9 AM. To become a member you must be a male, be able to eat breakfast and enjoy laughing. Also you need to know the answer to this question……where was the Charles Street Stadium located? Just in case you need a hint it was somewhere in Gloucester City.
